doesnt the kit include a scale?

Kit includes:

Press
Auto-Prime
11 Auto-Prime Shellholders
Chamfer tool
Primer pocket cleaner
2 oz case lube
Cutter and Lock Stud (Case Length Gage and Shellholder sold separately)
Powder scale
Powder measure

Also what kind of dies do i want? I really only plan on using store bought brass at first.

[OR-E-Gun Bill]

6" vernier or digital caliper for measuring OAL of finished loads, as well as other dimensions on the cases.

Dies are a personal preference. I prefer Redding or RCBS, but they come without a shell holder. Rcbs has an unbeatable warranty, even if you manage so mess something up on your own. Don't ask how I know....
